At some point in the journey, we may become tired, weary, confused, and homesick. All the scenery, the food, the people, the experiences just don’t do it for us anymore. We want to go home to the comfortable, familiar and easy. «What am I doing here?» we wonder. Nothing worthwhile is happening. Yet another part of us knows the truth and whispers, «Yes, something is happening, something worthwhile.»

Feeling homesick is part of the journey. It can mean we’ve reached a turning point. “When we get to that place,” a friend said, “it means the journey has really begun.”

Stay present for yourself and all your emotions. You’ve worked through so much so don’t stop now. Getting through this place, this point, will turn your life around. You’ve learned and grown, you’ve worked so hard healing your heart and cleansing your soul. Your spiritual growth has been profound. But until now, all the work you’ve done has been to prepare you for where you’re going.

You’ve seen only a little of what life has to offer. You’re about to walk through a door. Now that your heart is open, you’ll see, touch, and know even more of life’s wonders. It’s the reward for where you’ve been. Keep feeling your feelings and trusting your guidance.
